Answer:
62.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 16 people in total so to calculate percentage of boys in the team we put 10:16*100
6 + 10 = 16
To convert this to a percentage, we'll make our denominator 100 (like 100%)
100 ÷ 16 = 6.25
Now, we will multiply both the numerator and denominator to turn this into a percentage
[tex]\frac{10 x 6.25}{16 x 6.25}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{62.5}{100}[/tex]
62.5% of the swimming team is made up of boys.
